Helen Skelton 'felt stupid' after losing all her £70,000 savings in banking con

Helen Skelton says she felt "stupid" after she lost all her £70,000 savings in a banking scam. The TV presenter was a guest on Lorraine on ITV when she explained what happened back in 2019.

Talking about her son, the former Blue Peter presenter said she was scared about her son going online to talk to his mates, saying she doesn't know much about that world. She said she has heard about plenty of things that can go wrong, BirminghamLive reports.

The 39-year-old said: "I mean, come on – even as adults it is so easy to fall victim to a fraudster... I’ve done it – it has happened to me. It makes you feel really stupid. But it has happened to so many people who aren’t stupid.
